This issue of The Forum examines competition, regulation, and market power across artificial intelligence, media, and payments.

Zephyr Teachout examines calls for AI-specific regulation and makes the case for strengthening existing legal and enforcement institutions. Laurel Kilgour looks at the settlement in the Paramount–Warner Bros. Discovery merger and questions whether its remedies adequately address competitive concerns. Carter Dougherty examines the proposed settlement in the long-running Visa and Mastercard interchange-fee litigation and calls for the case to proceed to trial.

Together, these articles explore a recurring question in competition policy: how existing laws and institutions should respond as industries consolidate and new forms of market power emerge.
